Composite-Based Structural Equation Modeling: Analyzing Latent and Emergent Variables van Joerg Henseler is an English-language textbook on structural equation modeling. It is aimed at professionals who work with complex models in which both latent and emergent variables play a role.
This book provides an in-depth treatment of composite-based structural equation modeling. Henseler discusses methods for integrating interrelated composites in structural equation models, distinguishing between composite- and factor-based SEM. The reader gains insight into different types of SEM, such as variance- and covariance-based models, and learns how emergent and latent variables are handled. Practical case studies and software tutorials for ADANCO and the R package cSEM support applying the theory.
The book connects with fields such as psychological methodology and psychology research. It is a valuable reference work for anyone who professionally engages with structural equation modeling, research methods, and the analysis of complex data.
